PAUK THREE and Sharkey Sign for Title Fight in 'June The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning, January 23, SCRAP SLATED FOR NEW YORK Boys Earn Draw at Parlor Tricks; Champ Sails For his Homeland NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (AP)- Max Schmeling, heav y w e 1 g h t champion, and Jack Sharkey Bos ton challenger who has been -wait ing -almost two years for his "re venge." of ficiallv signed articles tonight for a IS round &Kle bout here in June. After a full-day of debate and arguing, the gladiators, with full retinues of lawyers, managers and assistants, left the weekly bouts In Madison Square Garden below to climb the stairs and sign the contract about 10 p. m. Schmeling, who won title rec ognitlon when h was fouled by Sharkey In a title fight in the Yankee stadium June 12, 1930, greeted his challenger cordially, but refused to be caught in the latest of the boyish pranks of h e a y y w e ights 3harkey's sly trick of blowing "sneese" powder In friends' faces. Sharkey Gets Draw By Refusing Shake "Uh. uh." said Max. "I hear about that. No goot." "Okey," said Sharkey, "and I heard about that handshaking gadget you're got. I'm wise to that." With their pet parlor tricks nullified, both Sharkey and Schmeling posed for photographs with pens In their hands while the managers signed the papers. The articles call for a 15 round bout, the date to be set within sixty days, in "greater New York." Madison Square Garden, promoting the match, secured an option on Sharkey's services for one title defense. Probably next September, In case the Boston sailor .defeated Schmeling. The German was bound for this fight alone. Schmeling Depart For Homeland Schmeling was announced as receiving 37 per cent, Sharkey, 12, which are champion's and challenger's shares, respectively, of gate receipts under the rules of New York state athletic commis sion. Schmeling immediately depart ed to set sail for Germany at mid night, on the Europa. He will re turn in March to start training. Sharkey received the greatest ovation of his career as he was introduced from the ring. The Garden rang-with cheers for him and the uproar lasted several min utes. People got so excited they booed lustily at the name of Schmeling and even forced Mayor James J. Walker to rise and take a bow. Although no definite date yet has been picked it was believed June 16, a Thursday, would be selected. Mack, at 70, Looks AHead By HARDIN BURNLEY- I ow will the m (f ZJpm I Btefe IAJ 133a?

Metropoulus defeated Art Per kins at Eugene recently and Matt Matheny, who refereed the bout, states that Metropoulus is a great wrestler, having a style similar to Gus Kalllo. Metropoulus rets touch when the going gets hard and draws into his shell as far as minding punishment la concerned. Arthur is a good wrestler and against one who is dose to his speed, is hard to beat. The fans have been holler in from the ringside for Art O'Reil ly, so Plant has matched Young eiiiy cowards with him for preliminary.

Jan. 22 Dallas high basketball fans experienced that rare thrill of a victory for their home high school team over a big ger town's quintet, tonight when the local boys triumphed over Corvallis high 20 to 18. Both teams played poor ball In the first half, seeming to lack life. Dallas led at half time, 6 to 5. Corvallis speeded up in the third quarter and forged five points ahead, the score, being 15 to 10 at the close. The margin was exactly the same with three minutes left to play, and then Dallas suddenly "snapped out of it" and 'scored the points necessary to win. The B squads also engaged in a tight battle, Corvallis winning 18 to 14 after the regular play ing time ended 14-all. Dallas has a busy schedule Just ahead, playing at Perrydale to morrow night, at McMinnville next Tuesday and at Indepen dence, a county league game of -major importance, Friday night. Summary of A game: WITH three decades of big league piloting in back of him, Connie Hack, now in his seventieth year, faces one of his toughest seasons. According to all hot stove league reckonings, the old fox won't have any walkaway race with his Phila delphia Athletics in the American League grind next year. The Yankees, his bitterest rivals, have been enormously strengthened by this Winter's acquisitions from the minor leagues. The Washington Senators can be counted upon to be also up there fighting all the way. And Chicago and Cleveland both will show plenty of winning ball - playing, according to Mack himself. With Frank Crosetti of the Coast leagues, and other Pacific slope stars on the New York ros ter, the canny Connie expects the xankee team to give his stellar ag gregation stiff opposition through out the race. Of course, the silver-haired Quaker City manager is confident tnat ms noys will win out in the end, but he isn't discounting the chances of the other teams. Mack has never Leen a braggart. Of the Yankees he says: "They were so good at the end of last season that if the race had eone another month there might have been a much closer finish. They will be chock- full of pep next year. They are well handled and will have better pitching this season than in 1931." Connie laughs when you ask him if he will retire after reaching the age of seventy. He declares in no uncertain terms that he win never turn over the reins of his ball club until he is of no use to the outfit. "It's the game that keeps me young," is his way of nutting it. Connie would laugh even louder if you were to tell him that Wash ington and New York have counted his pennant - winning team out ef their 1932 calculations and are watching each other. It is no secret that the consensus of opinion among the Yankees and Senators is that the Athletics are washed up and that some of the best Quaker City players will be traded. The old fox has rood license to snicker. Years and years ago the United Breth. J. Poulin 6 . . . G. Poulin 2. . . .F Biwer 8 . . . . Banta Bennett 2. . word went around that Mack was out of the big money. That was after he had sold players like "Home-Run" Baker and "Stuffy" Mclnnia. But Connie fooled them by buildinr ID the creat marhinn that carried off three pennants and two wona j series in succession. There is no doubt that the old catcher is as wily-witted a pilot as ever ran a big league ball team. He knows human psychology and he knows the national game. In ower woras, Be not only can tell a great player when he sees one, but he also can get everything pos sible out ef his men. "Ever since I came on this cir cuit," said one veteran American Leaguer, "I've been hearing tnat Connie Mack was finished as a first-class manager. I've never really believed K and I don't be lieve it now. Mack will never be finished as a first-rate diamond boss until he cant get down to the ball field at all." At sixty-nine the old fox of baseball, is far too spry for any thing like that! Owrrifkt 1M1 VIM FMtant SraMcs Im. and the Gervais players all af- tip firmed the point. When Coach Brown refused to allow the point which would have made the score 12 to 1 at the start of the second half, Coach Tumbleson sent his team to the showers and forfeited the game. Others in the crowd were of the opinion that the point had .been made. CQMT COMMENTS HPHK FIVE An Ideal columnist, we heard the other day, is one so narrow minded he can 6ee through a keyhole with both eyes. BEITS That might be done for a few momenti at the opening of each game; the name of the player making each score might be giv en and of course substitutes en tering the game might be an nounced. That much could be done with rel benefit and the loud speaker would not be banging on the eardrums of spectators through six games a day. The complaint was quite general that tho speakers made too much noise. This of course can be toned down somewhat. F. F. C. .G. O. S. First Cong. Whittington . 8 Harrison 15 Thomas . . . Hanson ....

Due to its courtesy ln trot ting out the public address ear last fall for any and all football games, the fans were greatly ac comodated. Not enough was said, at the time, ln appreciation of that service, nor of the excel lent announcing done by Gardner Knapp. The loud speakers were hooked np in the Willamette gymnasium the other night and a play-by-play description of the Florsheims-T e r r 1 b I e Swedes basketball game attempted. Since that time, we have re ceived several letters, and have also heard lnforual opinion ex pressed, that the announcing was not a success, and more than that, an annoyaice. One. writer feared that it would be a special annoyance to the players. All of these writeYs voiced a hope that play-by-play description "of the state tournament games would not be tried. One of the writers suggested that the loud speakers would be of advantage in making an nouncements at the tourna- ' ment something that has al ways been difficult for the nn - aided voice to accomplish. The lineups could be announced. the score at Tarioian appropri ate intervals, and coming ; events. Gardner Knapp found, in an nouncing the game this week that about all he could manage to do was to call out the name cause we paid no attention to the description. Our limited brain capacity badTio room for It while we were watching the game. working in sawmills and news paper offices has also inured us to constant racket.

STRIKES and SPARES from all ankles, while the Wash ington men seemed over-anxious and missed repeated tries, though most were harried shots. The Staters' defense proved so tight that the visitors were held to a single field goal in the last half. E. Davis, playing his first year for the Staters, was the de fensive star tonight and also gath ered two goals and four foul tries. .ewis and Fagana played almost faultless ball for the Beavers. Coach Edmundson of Washing ton started Fuller at center to night, but Lewis got the Jump on him most of the time. Late in the game Pete Antoncich went in as center for Washington, accompan ied by a flock of substitutes who failed to gap the distance already achieved by the Staters. ' When the game was sewed up with a 16-polnt lead. Coach Gill. Oregon State, also sent ln several second stringers, and the final minutes of the game saw a ragged battle up and down the floor with Ostling, Washington, finally sink ing a long shot Just before the game ended.
